The names and addresses of 106 retailers were entered on the Council's
list of persons entitled to sell poisons under Part II of the Pharmacy &
Poisons Act, 1933 and the Pharmacy & Medicines Act, 1941, By far the greater
majority of these are food retailers. In some instances the poisons sold are
only household disinfectants, but careful watch is kept on commodities sold
under proprietary names containing other poisons included in the list.
No action was necessary in respect of any offence under the Acts.
All the premises have been inspected as to their suitability, methods
of storage and labelling as required under the Acts, and have been found
satisfactory.
